Unfortunately my post about the 1951 Packard Pininfarina was published only in 1/43 American cars. 1/43 Hand Built models ignored it. Was it technical problem or personal sanctions, I don't know. Apparently, if you are a small fish such things are usual...
Here is a photo of this absolutely spectacular 1951 Packard Pininfarina which belongs to collector from Moscow. Thank to Gregory Gunn for its identifying. This is Milestone Miniatures from England made for KD.
Does anybody know how many units of this model were produced?

Or perhaps DD, for Dale Dannefer, who was selling these over a decade ago?

BTW, AutoCult released their version in resin in 2022.

Two 1/43 white metal Packard show cars were commissioned by Dale Dannefer, USA, from Milestone, England. MAR Online article:

Fred - one correction: You are not a small fish, you are a big fish! Especially with all the work you are doing to document 1/43 white metal, Argentine toy cars, and 1/43 workshops around the world! You are appreciated!

@mg-harv I guess full name of this company is K&D Automibile by Dale Dannefer and Frank Kaplan. But I can mistake.

@mg-harv Model by Autocult is very nice and neat. I very appreciate that they have produced it.
Autocult makes many interesting prototypes.

And a real car.
I am not sure if this is a factory produced product or one done after market by Peter Portugal. He did do this very unique one off Packard woody created from a sedan I believe. It used a modified 1949 Plymouth lower tailgage with embedded spare tire.
